“Those three girls were the people that I was most proud of,” Wa-Hi coach Michael Locati said. “The other girls ran well enough.”

The boys ran in the second-fastest grouping, Division One, with Sean Newcomb garnering a second-place in 15:49). Ben Wolpert grabbed 13th (16:20) and did so without do any running in practice. He has been swimming to train and to keep the impact on his sore shins low.

“Sean ran a very good race,” Locati said. “He was leading until the last half mile. He was ahead of the entire pack and then started to tire.”
